WINNIPEG A Winnipeg long-distance runner is completing his 50th ultramarathon of 2020. Inspired by his 50th birthday, Junel Malapad decided to take on the challenge of running 50 kilometres 50 times over the course of the year. He decided to cap off the monumental challenge with a 100 kilometre run around the Canadian Museum of Human Rights and St. Boniface on Boxing Day. Running is something people can embrace, he said. I started running because of health conditions in my family, and I wanted to nip that in the bud and be able to live a long life. Malapad is no stranger to running on Boxing Day. For many years he s toted the expression change Boxing Day to Running Day, encouraging Winnipeggers to get out and be active.
